vLite 1.1.6 Final

Even though it was RC I could not resist adding some new components, also a couple of fixes.
All removed (with extreme, 32-bit Ultimate) makes a new record: ISO 321MB, Windows folder 670MB.

vLite 1.1.6 RC

Few new components and an important fix. It was crashing during processing for some.
This one should also be a little faster during removals and 'Applying changes'.

vLite 1.1.6 beta 2

Here is the fixed version. Besides few fixes there are 2 components, WLAN and Firewall that are really tied into the Slipstreamed SP1 finalization routines so they are hidden as of now, but only when configuring slipstreamed image, others don't have that limit. Will fix that eventually, but for now those two issues (loop and blank features) are solved.

Update: here is a small guide until the Slipstream page is more user friendly.

vLite 1.1.6 beta - SP Slipstream

Oho, another version. Service Pack Slipstream support. Consider that feature a true beta test.
vLite had a hidden Slipstream page since the service pack betas so this was not so hard to adjust. You can see it by running older vLite with /sptest switch.
However it stopped working on the final SP1 when MS locked it down.
So this version should work again. Try this latest one and let me know of any issues with the Slipstream.
Of course it is always better to either capture or get a preintegrated DVD because MS said that integrating is not recommended before SP2 is out.

Important notes:
- slipstreaming x64 SP from x86 host is not supported, you need x64 host
- make sure that you have at least 4GB free at the partition where your temp folder is located (check in Options)
- SP1 supports only these 5 langauges for now: English (US), French, German, Japanese, or Spanish (Traditional).

vLite 1.1.5 beta

Some new removals, important language integration fix and finally a universal preset format.
Older version non-English saved presets will not load.

vLite 1.1.1

Here is the quick fix for the specific issue regarding SP1 MS preintegrated installation modification when running vLite from Windows XP. Some users reported a Registry Load error popup at the last vLite step in that scenario.

If you are running vLite from Windows Vista then this update isn't crucial but still recommended.
Thank you for the prompt reaction before the preintegrated SP1 goes public.
